Best Book For Beginning Java Developers, Ever,
By
This review is from: Introduction to Java Programming, Brief Version (7th Edition) (Paperback)
First: I ended up having to buy this book for my college course. Let me tell you, I'm extremely happy that they chose this book.
At first, Java looks really hard. Don't let it get to you. This book teaches you everything you need to know at what seems the perfect pace. The author is absolutely brilliant in explaining real-world examples you could use this in. You should have seen me the first time I made my own stand-alone application. Needless to say, I was joyful. Also, if you're learning Java by yourself, this is the perfect book. Never once did I ever have to refer to the internet to learn anything about what the book was covering. Seriously. I can't tell you how much this helped me as a beginning programmer.

Great book,
This review is from: Introduction to Java Programming, Brief Version (7th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is written really well and clear. It hops from topic to topic a little bit but in the best possible way, where it gets you interested in topics that are relevant to the main topic and mentions that it will get more into it later. Video tutorials are not very good.

Good for self learning!,
This review is from: Introduction to Java Programming, Brief Version (7th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is good for self learning. What I like most about this book is I can learn advance topics easily because the author always leaves "bread crumbs", if you will, to fundamental concepts necessary to understanding the examples. I can randomly flip to a page, and I don't have to worry about not being able to understand what a particular line of code means in an example. The author always has notes, as if he knew I was a novice, pointing back to key concepts that helped me understand the example. Even though the author titles the book, "Introduction to Java Programming", it is a complete work that made me competent enough to tackle major java programming task in today's industry. I think the title is a humble one, which invites beginners to easily learn the fundamentals of java programming, but still allows a learner to develop into a mature java programmer.
